David- since you are throwing out hypothetical situations, let me present you with this hypothetical:
I stumble upon a rare Ruth card that isn't listed correctly on ebay. I know that there may be 30 to 40 board members who would love to bid on the card, but I'm not sure that they even know about it. I have no intentions of bidding on it myself, and it's a 24 hour auction. I just worked all day, and don't have the time to PM every board member I think would love to bid on this card, being that the auction is already underway.
Do I bring the auction to the boards attention, thus giving my fellow board members a shot at the card they may not have known about-or-do I not say anything?
I'm not saying this is the reason the thread was started, but would love to hear your take on this hypothetical. Thanks-
Sincerely, Clayton
